Understanding Skin Tags
What Are Skin Tags? Skin tags are small, non-cancerous growths that typically appear as protrusions of skin attached to the body by a narrow stalk, or peduncle. They range from a few millimeters to half an inch in diameter and may be flesh-colored or slightly pigmented. Common locations for skin tags include:
- Eyelids: Near the eyelid margin, where irritation may be more frequent.
- Armpits (Axillae): Areas prone to friction from clothing or shaving.
- Under the Breasts: Where skin folds and irritation can occur.
- Groin: Often in areas subjected to constant movement and friction.
- Upper Chest: Particularly where skin folds or tight clothing may cause irritation.
- Neck: Frequently in areas where skin rubs against itself or clothing.
Characteristics of Skin Tags
- Smooth or Irregular Texture: The surface can vary from smooth to uneven.
- Color: Typically flesh-toned or light brown.
- Clusters: Skin tags often appear in groups rather than singly.
Why Do Skin Tags Appear? Skin tags are generally harmless but can be bothersome due to their appearance or irritation caused by friction with clothing or jewelry. They are particularly common in areas subjected to repetitive friction or in individuals with certain medical conditions, such as diabetes or obesity.
Advanced Treatment Options for Skin Tags
Why Choose Advanced Treatment? While skin tags are usually benign, their removal may be necessary for aesthetic reasons or to alleviate discomfort. At Park Avenue Dermatology, we offer a range of sophisticated treatment options tailored to effectively address skin tags while minimizing risk and enhancing cosmetic outcomes.
Treatment Methods:
Cauterization: This technique involves the use of heat to burn off the skin tag. Electrolysis targets the growth with precision, ensuring effective removal with minimal discomfort.
Electrosurgery: Utilizing electrical currents, this method allows for controlled removal of the skin tag. It is an efficient technique that provides immediate results.
Cryosurgery: In this approach, a probe containing liquid nitrogen is used to freeze the skin tag, causing it to fall off naturally. This method is particularly effective for tags that are less accessible.
Ligation: By interrupting the blood supply to the skin tag, ligation causes it to wither and fall off over time. This procedure is generally used for larger or more stubborn tags.
Excision: The skin tag is surgically removed using a scalpel. This method is ideal for larger tags or those located in more sensitive areas.
Special Considerations for Eyelid Skin Tags When skin tags occur near the eyelid margin, specialized care is required. Dr. Rothfeld’s extensive experience ensures that even delicate procedures around the eyes are performed with the highest precision and safety.
